With its strong strength, inter slowly began to take some orders. Although the price is not cheap, because their quality is really qualified, Motorola, Vodafone and other companies are also using their chips.
However, Xiao Qi knows that the focus of Inter is always on computers. This super market of 200 million units a year is the focus of 90% of inter and will never give up.
Therefore, even in 2013, inter has not made much achievements in the mobile phone industry. It has to be said that they are too slow and dull to change innovation.
A GPU that cannot achieve high-precision technology and lead the trend naturally cannot be recognized by Xiao Qi. People imagine that the technology will still be the overlord of GPU graphics processor in 2013. Of course, Xiao Qi's tablet should use the best.
"Sorry, the GPU with imagination technology is a good thing I have decided and can't be changed." Xiao Qi looked at the four of them seriously, "I like the best products, such as your company's CPU, such as the GPU of imagination technology, such as Corning's tempered glass, etc., rather than casually making do with each other. This is an insult to all high-tech technicians."
"Good!"
Percy couldn't help shouting.
Although he didn't know what the result would be, he was absolutely in favor of Xiao Qi's insistence on making products with good things and good technology.
Technicians and company managers are different. They want to use the best in everything, regardless of the cost.
Therefore, companies with technicians as managers usually fail because they are not good at controlling costs.
This is why professional managers in Europe and the United States are so popular. They hand over technology to technicians and sales to salespeople... In other words, they hand over professional things to professional people. Don't imagine that you can shoulder all things. This is the way for companies to succeed.
The HSBC Bank in Hong Kong is a typical example.
In 2012, when the global banking industry was depressed, their annual profit reached more than HK $25 billion, but as soon as the financial news came out, their shares in European and American stock markets immediately fell sharply.
Apart from a little financial application rules and a little manipulation, in fact, the real profit of HSBC is still more than 15 billion.
But why did their shares fall?
It's very simple, because in addition to being a bank, HSBC also does insurance, auto shop, real estate and mining... They do everything that makes money anyway.
What do Europeans and Americans like best?
Most like professional companies, such as apple, you specialize in electronic products; Microsoft specializes in windows, Cisco specializes in network communication
What do they hate most?
I hate companies that don't work and want to do everything.
Therefore, HSBC was distressed. It made a lot of money, but it was despised by large, small and medium-sized institutions and private investors. In a few days, the stock fell by several billion.
In early 2013, HSBC finally announced that it would sell insurance companies, real estate companies, mining companies... And other businesses that had nothing to do with the main business of the bank and concentrate on being its own bank. As a result, the share price gradually rebounded.
okay.
The topic is a little far away.
Percy's applause did not change rediro and Fisher's mind. When they heard shocky say so, they still shook their head and said they couldn't do it.
"What I promised just now is $10 million. If you find it difficult, how about raising the patent licensing fee to $15 million?" Xiao Qi looked at them in his spare time and said, "it's not impossible to talk about the patent money of each chip."
Arm's four eyes lit up at the same time.
I didn't expect such a reserve. People immediately turned over 50% of the price. It's really a big hand!
Xiao Qi can't adapt to the CPU chip integration of tablet computers. MediaTek can't do it, nor can USTC. Others' arm is a unique business. Of course, the initiative is not in their own hands. They can only bite their teeth and impress them at the greatest cost.
Of course, smartphones and tablets have not yet sprung up. Even though arm has made apple's iPhone chip and authorized them to produce and develop it, it still doesn't know how much benefit it has.
So don't look at how much Xiao Qi spends now. When tablet computers become popular, you will find that all this is worth it.
It can even be said that even after the popularity of iPhone, if Xiao Qicai came to arm, the price would not be millions of dollars. At least the starting price of twenty or thirty million dollars. It is absolutely impossible not to smoke you three or four dollars for each chip.
"Fifteen million dollars!!"
Carlos can't breathe smoothly. If the business is negotiated, he, the little manager in charge of negotiation, also has great credit.
Therefore, he looked at the deputy general manager and the general manager eagerly, expecting a "OK" in their mouth.
Of course, rediro and Fisher also want to say "OK" right away, but after all, they are seasoned figures. When they know such a major thing, they should never make their own decision, but they should communicate with the domestic headquarters.
So redillo said sorry and turned to another room.
More than ten minutes later, Xiao Qi, who was chatting with Percy and them about microprocessor chips, was inevitably disappointed when he saw redillo coming back with a face.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao." Redillo sighed, "what we can do is the improvement and integration of any other technology you put forward, but imagine the GPU of technology. Our head office does not agree to install it on the CPU chip of arm."
"I see. I don't know if another method will work."
A person with such a high IQ as Xiao Qi, where can he only prepare one scheme? Seeing that this aspect is not good, he immediately threw out the second scheme: "you design the CPU according to my requirements, but leave the location, interface and scheme of the GPU. Let me take it back and assemble the graphics processor myself."
"Is that ok?"
Percy was so surprised that he almost opened his eyes.
"Why not?" Xiao Qi shrugged and said, "since they don't want to do it, they don't do it well, but the reserved program connection and scheme should be done according to the imagination technology I bought... Anyway, after you sell it to me, how I assemble it is my business. You won't sell CPU chip technology to me because I want to use the GPU of imagination technology?"
Rediro was also struck by thunder.
Xiao Qi is right. Arm's chip technology is open. As long as you give the authorization money, you can change the chip no matter how you change it.
If you can't change it, isn't it the same as the Inter in those years( It's not finished yet. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly ticket at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
